2.1. Install guide¶
Before you can use nvector, you’ll need to get it installed. This guide will guide you through a simple installation that’ll work while you walk through the introduction.
2.1.1. Install nvector¶
If you have pip installed and are online, then simply type:
$ pip install nvector
to get the lastest stable version. Using pip also has the advantage that all requirements are automatically installed.
You can download nvector and all dependencies to a folder “pkg”, by the following:
$ pip install –download=pkg nvector
To install the downloaded nvector, just type:
$ pip install –no-index –find-links=pkg nvector
2.1.2. Verifying installation¶
To verify that nvector can be seen by Python, type python
from your shell.
Then at the Python prompt, try to import nvector:
>>> import nvector as nv >>> print(nv.__version__) 0.7.6
To test if the toolbox is working correctly paste the following in an interactive python session:
import nvector as nv
nv.test('--doctest-modules')
or
$ py.test –pyargs nvector –doctest-modules
at the command prompt.
